What exhaust?

[gaz05]

Going to start looking at the exhaust side of the engine and have no idea what I should be looking for. Bike exhaust would be the cheapest and best looking option I think as there's a load of standard cans available.

Which one though? I remember reading somewhere that it was all to do with revs and not so much capacity of the engine that mattered. Would a 1000cc+ bike exhaust be ok for my 2L zetec?

Got a westfield one on mine, see the build thread. Your welcome to pop over and have a look at it in the flesh.

Not sure how good a bike can would be as they will be tuned to dampen the higher frequencies compared to a lower frequency car engine.

CBS do some silencers not badly priced;

Got mine from RAW but their website is not very good now.

Europa do some stuff not badly priced;

ya i was thinking about using one of the cherry bombs from europa as they sound like just the thing for a bike carb converted engine and I'm not fussed on having stainless to begin with

Excuse my ignorance :o ( I have no experience of cherry bomb exhausts )

But, are they not a loud exhaust? me,s thinking IVA noise test etc being quite strict..............just a thought :)

Oh right I've probly mis-interpreted the description as I thought it made loud engines quite, especially performance engines?

[gaz05]

The CBS exhausts look nice but at over £230 for the just the silencer look quite pricey. I thought there might have been a cheaper option.

[brainbug007]

I could have sworn some people on here where using R1 bike cans?

Nothing wrong with cherry bombs other than the have a lousy finish. Ok under a car but if you intend using one probably best to strip the finish they come with and give them a coat of vht paint. Noise level is ok if sized properly.

:o I bought a Stainless steel silencer that once graced a Robin Hood off Ebay , was local to me so no postage ..... £7.50 :p

Just hope it,ll pass the noise test, if not it may well get well n truly stuffed :D

David i think it has to be a bike can. Just looks like the right thing to do.
